ARCHBISHOP ELDER ON LABOR AND CAPITAL
Archbishop Elder, OF Cincinnati, being asked
between labor and capital?" replied: sThe great
difficulty now is the lack OF ieciing OF goodwill
and the charity which belongs TO religion, On the
side both OF labor and capital. Such rule as that
each man should try to get the best he can ia
every transaction seems 10 prevail now. So long
as this spirit remains there VIII be contention
When the capitalists are strong the workingrnen
fail in their contests with them and vice vera
What we need to-day Is a spirit or good will and
charity to modify this selfish rule OF each man
striving for his own advantage. Now each man
wants TO get the most for his money and TO give
the least. What is necessary is that while each
man may claim q fair ptoit for himself he must
allow the same TO his neighbor.

come very much agitated because the professor
who conducted morning prayers invariably fol-

this nfictiOn until it became intolerable and the
other morning in the midst OF the prayer paralyZed
the professor and the whole school by yelling out
'Chestnuts!" The young lady has since returned

Special Cars.
PALACES IN WHICH RAILWAY NAGNATRs TRAVEL

Special Cars.
PALACES IN WHICH RAILWAY MAGNATRs TRAVEL
ACROSS THE CONTINENT.
From the Chicago Mail
There are oftentimes down at the van Buren,
street depot OF the Rock Island and Lake Shore
railroads, as many as i've special railroad cars
under the roof, and idle. have seen President
John Newells magnificent special car Stella, and
President r. R. Cables still more magnificent
private vehicle No. 6O3, and two or more other
splendid private coaches, all drawn up in line
long enough to make good-sized train;
These special coaches come cheap at $4,000
apiece. The little Rock Island has two OF
has three or four. the st. Paul four or
five, the Illinois Central three, the chicago,
Burn burilhgton and Quincy four the Michigan Central
TWO or three. In short, without enumerat1ng
ROADS the brefer way is to say that every road on
rne continent has special railroad car for Its
special car usually for It's general superintendent;
oentimes special car for its chief engineer, and,
as Id the cases OF most OF the trunk roads, spe-
Pullman. They have plate-glass windows from
the roof to the floor, and are divided In one OF two
and kitchen. They are as long as the ordinary
F9ilman coach, and cost from SIC, 1000 to $50, OOO
One OF the most elegant is that which belongs to
the president OF the Rock Island Fine special cars
are one Of the extravagances Of American rail-
roads, and not q small extravaganza either. OF
roads each one has from 200 to 500. 200 in
vested in palace cars for the qualification Of gen.
era officers or to tickle the pride Of their women
1olKs: II these cars lasted forever there would be
stu from 81 900 600 to 600 invested in pal
aces On wheels, which did the stockholders no
earthly good, which drew no interest, but which
d1d cost money to maintain. Take all the roads
on this continent, and it would probably be found
that there was $780, 900 On wheels for the sole
delectat1on OF their general officers, and study OF
the books OF these roads would probably show that
the 100000 worth OF the magnificent rolling
stock needed to be renewed every ten years. 1t
really makes quite an item Of railroad bOOk-keep-
ing the more one figures on it. And how can 1t all
De? Isn't the ordinary Pullman coach good
enough for railroad president? Or, even II an
for president, isn't it good enough Tor general
manager or general engineer?

Mr. I1oxie and the Tramp.

Mr. E1Oxie and the Tramp.
From the Omaha World
During the early days OF the Union Pacific, when
webster Snyder was general superintendent, H.
NJ. Hoxie was his assistant. Snyder and Hoxie
were an active team, and one of them was nearly
always on the road, examining its construction or
supervising the details of its conduct, At the time
OF which speak, the road was completed short
distance beyond Kearney, and Mr. HoXie had been
OUT 10 the end or the line and was returning. The
roadbed was naturally very rough, and the pro-
greoS OF all trains necessarily very slow. Some
where west OF kearney tramp boarded MIR.
Hoxie'S train, and attempted to work the con-
ductor for a free ride to Omaha. The conductor
resisted his plea, but his opportunities became so
pressing and pathetic that he was finally referred
to Mr.. HOXie.
'Let you ride to Omaha for nothing?" said he,
When application Was made to him. 'NO. When
we geS 20 the next station the conductor will put
you off,"
The order was strictly obeyed, and the discom-
teu OeaI forced out OF the and on to the depot
platform at kearney. To say that Mr.. HOXie was
surprised when, upon altghting from the train at
Oiilna, the first person that he encountered was
the Identical tramp would be to put 1t very mildly.

The New Era, south and North.

From the Newark Advertiser, December %.
There are those in the south who, although they
may not now be heard, do not approve OF what Mr..
Grady has said. There are those In the north,
Silent In the midst Of this general chorous OF ap-
plause, who do not believe what he says There are
irreconcilables who have never accepted the ar
bitrament of arms, who still cherish vague hopes
OF restored Lost Cause. or who brood silently
over The ruins OF the cOnfederacy. These men, II
not numerous are often noisy. They attract at
tent!on by the truculent violence and audacity OF
their utterances 1t is easy, almost natural, that
tney should be accepted as the old representatives
OF the entire south. There are, in northern COM
munltleS. many men whose political plans require
That the old sectional feeling should not die out ;
OtherS who are impatient that peculiar social
institution that existed in the south for more
than century should not adjust itself at
once to a changed condition Of things; others who
cannot understand how people, taught by years
OF slaveholding to deSpise manual labor, can ac-
custom itself TO habits necessary to promote ma
terlai and permanent prosperity. We may well
celieVe that these are In small minority On both
sides OF the Old line Of Mason and Dixon. We may
as well accept the fact that the new south, with
whatever reluctance, has finally turned her back
On the lrremediaDle past and Is honestly building
better life on new foundations; is full OF hope for
the future, and IS sincerely DESTROYS that the men,
orr or ancient animoSitieS shall fade. There will
be attritton, misunderstanding and much FOOLISH
ness on both sides. These things will pass away
and another generation will know them only as
matters of history
